    Does anyone flat tow a 2013 KIA REO. I'm not sure if it can be. If not what small car could I tow. Thanks

    The only way to know for sure is to read the owner's manual for the Kia model that you are talking about.  Motor Home magazine and the FMCA magazine publish a list of towables.  You have to know how much your motorhome is rated to tow and how much your dingy/toad weighs.  It seems that the Honda CRV and Jeeps are the most popular dingys, but not even all those can be towed four down.  I have a Ford Edge as a dingy and have been very happy with it.

    Looking at a copy of the 2016 Motorhome Dingy Guide to towing and sad to

    say that Kia is not listed. 

    We tow a 2014 Jeep Cherokee without any problem.

    I would suggest you check the towing guide and it could help you with what can and cannot be towed.

    Hope this helps.

    We have a 2008 Bounder, 38 ft.  We tow a 2012 Jeep Liberty using a Road Master II All Terrain towing system.  Easy to hookup, and disengage the drive train on the Jeep.  Before we bought the Jeep we made sure it was towable four down otherwise we would have bought something else.

    We tow a Smart Car and have had no problems.  Easy to hook up and easy to tow.  You don't need supplemental brakes for the Smart Car either which is a considerable saving. We tow back and forth from British Columbia to Southern California.

    We tow a 2013 Honda CRV automatic behind our Fleetwood Bounder 33C.. All of the automatic CRVs prior to 2015 are flat towable,, following the instructions in the owner's manual.

    We tow a 2013 Honda CRV with four down with no problem.  Our coach is a 2015 Excursion 33D.  If you are buying a new car, make sure to check the car manual for whether it is towable.  I hear the 2016 Honda CRVs are not towable.

    Hi,  We just did an exhaustive search and ended up with a Suburu Crosstrek 2016 5 speed stick.  It is the easiest to hook up and run.  You take the brake off, turn the key to the first position, switch are braking system on and go.  You don't have to stop, check anything...nothing.  Great little car too.

    We tried a dolly, with my Hyundai Azera and it was horrible. We purchased a Jeep and a Blue Ox and love it.  Definitely the way to go.  Hook up and disconnect is super quick!
